Souvenir received a score of 81 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [1] Uncut called it "an instantly engaging, 11-track set with zip, heart, sly humour and real staying power, which shucks off the often dry terseness of the genre without trashing its template", [4] while Mojo stated that "it's over in a flash, an exhilarating fairground ride you won't want to disembark". [2] PopMatters ' Alison Ross found that "the slightly sleeker sound (with a new producer) suits them very well. We certainly don't want to go all Rick Rubin on Omni, but it turns out a somewhat polished production brings out the emotion in this heretofore stoic band". [3]
